Mint and Quicken are financial services so I can see how people would fall for that. You're assuming here that the "tradeoff" will be clearly presented, which we know it will not be. The "tradeoff" will only be real

So are you saying that idiots will knowingly link their bank accounts to Facebook and star in their own Black Mirror episode? Sounds amazing.

NPR did a similar story/podcast on fake news in June: https://www.npr.org/2018/06/25/623231337/fake-news-an-origin... Interesting to read that fake news is just part of our culture. It seems like a

Yes! Well, sort of, but a little backstory... Yesterday, I believe, there was an article posted here called, “Perhaps it is simpler to say that Intel…was disrupted”. It was written by Steven Sinofsky (who I wasn't familiar with) but ha

Steve is big on "getting out of the building". I agree the story seems more focused around the asshole CEO but if you read 4 steps to the epiphany or do his online course, How to build a startup (it is free on udacity and actually

is it just me or is this basically, "this project has a lot of stars, so, you should know it!". Seems like vanity metrics have absolutely ruined the internet. If these are useful to you, great, but just because something has a lot

“In fact, in one case, our engineers noticed the overly broad access and requested that Facebook limit it.” Yes, something to see here.

I wanted to comment but couldn’t find the right words. You said exactly what I was thinking. It is hard to reconcile this endless growth model when a company like Apple has billions upon billions in cash. It really makes me realize that the

I went to see Upgrade last night and they played some facebook apology tour ADVERTISEMENT (because that's what it is) before the movie. Just ridiculous... "we care about your privacy"... yea, not really.

I believe the biggest problem with social media is that it seems to impact people that don't even use social media. I haven't had a facebook account since 2012 yet I still feel like I'm somehow wrapped up in this social media

"You always start ahead in a contract negotiation when you're the one writing the first draft." Never heard that but I like it. I am aware of it, just never heard it put into words like that. Thanks!

One thing I found interesting is that MoviePass Ventures has started acquiring rights to movies. From an article on IndieWire: Just five days after MoviePass declared that it would acquire films through a new subsidiary, MoviePass Ventures,

Or the old, put an ad in the paper telling you to send me $20 to tell you how to make money. Then I just send you a note that says, "put an ad in the paper telling people to send you $20 and send them this note".

I am definitely reading them but some of them are just references to news stories or articles that I just skim. Not sure if I'm meant to be digging deeper with those. the nonlinear aspect of it all is wonderful.

How far are you? Are you reading all of the footnotes? I am so confused about it all but I love it. It has really sparked a curiosity I haven't had in awhile. Btw, have you heard of the book Ship of Theseus? I bought it for my wife and

I don't think much, to be honest. In fact I think the excitement of the 90's and the advent of the internet acted as sort of a fountain of youth for people that didn't want to go the corporate route. I have been an independen

Look, it is 2018, “Facebook” and “collecting data” shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone. Stop using Facebook or submit to your data overlords but please, PLEASE stop posting this stuff. Facebook should never be trusted.
